Transcriptional regulation of class-I major histocompatibility complex genes transformed in murine cells is mediated by positive and negative regulatory elements

Vascular smooth muscle cell-specific reg

Vascular smooth muscle cell-specific regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1/Cip1 transcription by Sp1 is mediated via distinct cis-acting positive and negative regulatory elements in the proximal p21WAF1/Cip1 promoter

## Abstract Smooth muscle cells (SMC) play a central role in common vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. Understanding the molecular regulation of SMC proliferation at a transcriptional level may provide important clues for the targeted control of vascular hyperplasia. We re
